What is Zluri?

Steady IGA depth: access reviews, request forms, and SaaS governance dashboards keep maturing.

Zluri's last six entries trace investment in IGA workflow depth. Access reviews can now start from users (March 2026), certification setup got a single guided flow with shared defaults and per-entity overrides, access request forms support an org-wide default that cascades to per-application customizations with explicit detachment rules, and the Groups module shipped dedicated users and applications views in May 2026. November 2025 added IP-based login restrictions and App Insights — a unified dashboard surfacing orphaned admin accounts, unused licenses, SSO gaps, and Shadow IT activity.

Copperleaf is publishing executive briefs at industrial scale, pre-warming buyers for AI-driven AIP

Copperleaf, now under the IFS umbrella, is publishing executive briefs at near-daily cadence — water-utility transparency, rail funding gaps, regulatory defensibility, climate volatility — with no product releases in the window. The company is functioning as the asset-investment-planning thought-leadership arm of IFS.

Steady IGA depth: access reviews, request forms, and SaaS governance dashboards keep maturing.

◆ Current state

Zluri's last six entries trace investment in IGA workflow depth. Access reviews can now start from users (March 2026), certification setup got a single guided flow with shared defaults and per-entity overrides, access request forms support an org-wide default that cascades to per-application customizations with explicit detachment rules, and the Groups module shipped dedicated users and applications views in May 2026. November 2025 added IP-based login restrictions and App Insights — a unified dashboard surfacing orphaned admin accounts, unused licenses, SSO gaps, and Shadow IT activity.

◆ Where it's heading

Two themes run through the releases. First, IGA workflow consolidation: one certification can now cover many apps; one default form cascades to many app-specific forms; reviews start from users instead of apps. Second, SaaS-stack intelligence: App Insights moves Zluri from inventory toward actionable governance, with anomalies and inefficiencies presented as cards that link to remediation. Release cadence is slow — months between drops — but each one expands a real admin surface.

◆ Prediction

Expect more multi-app, multi-entity workflows (bulk remediation, cross-group reviews) and tighter integration between App Insights anomalies and access-review playbooks — closing the loop between detection and automated remediation. The Groups module's recent table refresh suggests a broader platform-UI standardization is in flight.

Copperleaf is publishing executive briefs at industrial scale, pre-warming buyers for AI-driven AIP

◆ Current state

Copperleaf, now under the IFS umbrella, is publishing executive briefs at near-daily cadence — water-utility transparency, rail funding gaps, regulatory defensibility, climate volatility — with no product releases in the window. The company is functioning as the asset-investment-planning thought-leadership arm of IFS.

◆ Where it's heading

The editorial machine is industrialized vertical by vertical: water, rail, utilities, energy each get tailored capital-planning content. The IFS Copperleaf AIP Forum at Silverstone signals integrated go-to-market; the recurring 'AI-driven AIP' thread sets up where the platform narrative is heading.

◆ Prediction

Given the saturation around AI-driven asset investment planning and regulatory-defensibility framing, a near-term product disclosure on AI-augmented capital planning or regulatory-intelligence tooling is the obvious next move. The content is doing the buyer-conditioning work.
